Panel discussion focuses on public relations

Panelists will discus public relations and how the field is perceived by the general public at a forum organized by a student.

Lisa Travnik, vice president for advocacy for the National Public Relations Student Society of America, organized the event as part of her Honors College senior project. The event is open to all students, faculty and staff members; it’s set for Wednesday, April 4, at 4:30 p.m. in the Kirkohf Center, Pere Marquette Room. Attendees will be encouraged to challenge these professionals on the topics of ethics or the social implications of the public relations profession.

This panel will be used as a model for a nationwide advocacy effort by the Public Relations Student Society of America.
